Goddess Invoking Gray Moonstone Sterling Silver Ring Size 9

In ancient Rome, Moonstone was believed to be formed from solidified moonlight. The magical appearance of Moonstone's radiance occurs when light reflects off of the two types of feldspar that make this stone, orthoclase and albite. These two minerals grow together in alternating layers, and a phenomena named adularescence occurs whenever light shines on this display of orthoclase and albite.

In Rome they said that the Goddess Diana inhabited Moonstone and would share her gifts of wisdom, good fortune, and love to those who wore it. They believed it would help the wearer maintain a clear mind and enhance prophetic visions and sight and aid in making wise decisions. 

Ancient India also revered Moonstone for its magical attributes and give it as a traditional wedding gift, as they believed it would unite estranged lovers and reconcile and facilitate great love. They associate Moonstone with the God Chandra Shekara, which translates to "one who wears the moon". It is said that Chandra has a moonstone embedded into his forehead that becomes lighter and darker with the moon cycles. 

Moonstone is used for protection in travel and balancing out the emotions. It is a great gift for those who are beginning a new cycle of life or are moving or traveling to new places. Moonstone is a traditional gift, along with Aquamarine, for mariners or those traveling over seas. It is suggested to carry a moonstone with you during travels under the light of the moon, or stored in your vehicle to keep you safe during your travels.
